So funny that you now noticed yourself doing it as well sometimes. I have had so much fun in the aftermath of this article, listening much more closely to conversations I'm in and conversations going on around me.

As far as finding the balance--I think first being aware of the pattern is a big step! I wish you luck--and thank you for reading.
